I liked the Eddie that looked different, damn it!
The heart of the original show, to me, was that none of them really understood they weren't a typical American family. Sure, it was a joke, and mostly a sight gag, but the point was, monsters or not, they were a family, doing what families do.
To have Eddie angsting about being a werewolf seemed completely counter-intuitive to me. But I think I was really expecting -- and wanting -- the old show just updated with new situations and references, not new takes on the characters.
Yeah, Amy, I couldn't put my finger on it, but that's what I wanted, too, I think. I appreciate that someone gave some thought to how a family made up of vampires and werewolves and Frankenstein's monster might come about, but the tone of Mockingbird Lane never jelled right for me.
Hey, Parks and Rec is going to move back to 8:30 so I'll have my Community/Parks and Rec hour again! Hooray!

Random thought as I am sitting in the salon with goop on my hair--maybe when I get a dog I should name it Bagel, pronounced Britta style.
Especially if it's a beagle.
I'm not going to lie, I think tonight's ep of "The Office" is the funniest ep in like 2 years.
Chicken mafia is "Contemporary American Poultry," and it's a favorite of mine. Definitely on the list!
Especially if they know Goodfellas at all.
I am not sure if this is a fuckup, but is it really possible the show will air in Canada before it does here?

That was a good one. Kevin was killing me, but all 3 stories were funny, which hasn't happened in a while.
Obligatory Community Content: I persist in thinking of November as All Saints' Day Month (in spooky Dean voice). Especially when I am looking for excuses not to clean the cobwebs off my porch rafters, etc.
